An investigation has been completed into a complaint alleging that the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) refused to investigate harassment and stalking complaints, treating them as by-law matters.
After reviewing the Findings Report, the Inspector General found that DRPS complied with Ontario’s Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 and related regulations. Officers attended multiple calls, assessed the situation, and issued a “Road Watch” letter to the neighbour, warning of potential Highway Traffic Act violations. The investigation found no evidence to support allegations of harassment requiring criminal investigation.
Outcome: DRPS provided “adequate and effective” policing.
